Pte. William Harey Morrison

My great uncle, William Harvey Morrison came to Australia in 1911 from Balfron, near Glasgow. He loved the country and when war was declared, enlisted at Brisbane, Queensland on 11th Aug 1915 at the age of 30. Originally in 8th reinforcements, 25th Battalion, he was transferred to 2nd Pioneer Battn and via Egypt in 1916 he saw action in France until the end of the war. For a time, he was batman to Captain Archibald Niven Sinclair in C Company, who was killed in 1917 and is buried in Menin Road South Military Cemetery. Uncle Willie returned to Balfron and married Elizabeth Fraser in 1919 and again travelled to Australia with his pregnant bride in 1920.
